Question

What is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

The equation of the line is y = 1/2x - 3/2

Explanation:

Plug in point (-3, 3) with slope 1/2 into y = mx + b

-3 = 1/2(-3) + b

-3 = -3/2 + b

+3/2 +3/2

-------------------

-3/2 = b

hence, y = 1/2x - 3/2

Answer 2

y = 1/2 - 3/2

Explanation:

All we need to do is find the y-intercept of the line using the formula for slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

-3 = 1/2(-3) + b

-3 = -1.5 + b

-1.5 = b

We can put all the information we know/solved for into the formula.

y = 1/2 - 1.5

Best of Luck!
